Well, not anymore. In today’s episode of the new Writing Ninjas video series, I’m sharing a very special how-to formula that will have you writing powerful thesis statements in no time.
What exactly is a thesis statement and why is it so important? The thesis statement acts as the cornerstone of your essay.

It also helps you clarify your thoughts on the topic of your paper and strengthen your outline.

Hi Nicole.
Very informative. I let hearing tips on writing as it’s part of what I do for business (writing that is). Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Geniece! Glad you found it informative. 🙂
Oh that takes me back to when my husband was writing his thesis – lots of wailing and gnashing of teeth and a huge rush to complete it before we were moving to another country. Great tips!
Ana, that sounds similar to my experience working on a thirty page final paper for one of my classes in college. It would have been much more difficult if I didn’t have a strong thesis statement. Thanks for commenting!
